Start With the Experience: How Do You Want the Space to Feel?

Outdoor design works best when you define the experience first:

• Is this a lounging space, a dining space, or a full “outdoor great room”?

• Do you want morning sun or afternoon shade?

• Is this mainly for family time, entertaining, or wellness?

• How often do you use the space in the evening?

Once the lifestyle is clear, your choices for shade structures, lighting, and layouts become obvious.
